Supreme Court Pushes For CCTV cameras in courts And Tribunals Citing 26/11

The Supreme Court has advocated the use of CCTV cameras in courts and tribunals citing the 26/11 Mumbai attack and the 2016 Patiala House court violence in Delhi stating that it wants to introduce discipline, security and oversight in judicial proceedings.

Speaking of its benefits, the apex court referred to the CCTV screengrab of convict Ajmal Kasab at Victoria Terminus railway station, and said that it had provided critical evidence to his detriment during the trial.

The bench also observed that in the case involving Swapnil alias Pintu Shirke, who had been lynched inside Nagpur’s district court premises in 2005, there was no CCTV evidence and no one had come forward despite the murder occurring before hundreds of people,

A bench comprising Justice Adarsh Goel and Justice UU Lalit welcomed the government move to install CCTV cameras in several key tribunals such as the National Green Tribunal, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal and National Company Law Tribunal.
